The next morning I watch as mustapha got ready for work. I saw him off before I made my way back to our apartment.
After morning shower, I dressed in a maxi brown skirt paired with an ash cape top.
I had no where to go. But then again I couldn't stay here for hours till mustapha returns so I decided to gallavant around.
I met a tourist outside and luck was on my side because he speaks clear English.
I was delighted as he showed me around.
I visited Prado museum, which was ancient and beautiful. After long hours of strolling the beautiful city of madrid i felt famish and so decided to eat. I was recommended one of the many famous dishes here by the waitress. It was Tortilla de patata. I enjoyed every bit of my lunch.
Shortly after lunch I found my way back to the apartment where I met mustapha.
Don't tell me it takes only a night for you to become a native here" teased mustapha.
Ignoring his comment, I made my way to the setter which he was sitting on.
You are back?, how was the meeting " I asked.
It was fantastic " replied mustapha.
So what have you been up to?" He asked.
I went to explore Spain, and I really enjoyed it.
The people were welcoming, the places are majestic especially the Royal palace.
I was getting really psych before mustapha interrupted me.
I wonder how you will get after visiting the Eiffel tower " he said.
What's that ? , I asked honestly.
Don't tell me, you don't know Eiffel tower ?.
I don't, I replied.
Well it's a beautiful water fall in France ' said mustapha.
Oh my, I love water falls ' I squirm.
Mustapha began to laugh at me ,your naiveness is just cute he said before he confessed that Eiffel tower isn't a water fall .
I felt embrace, and then I decided to play hurt.
I frown my face and tried to look as serious as ever.
Ok, am sorry said mustapha.
You have to admit it, you sounded funny.
I raised my brow as mustapha came closer.
Hey, I yelled and I felt mustapha's hand tickling me.
I tried not to laugh but I couldn't resist too long. So I gave in, I laughed till my stomach felt blurted.
Am hungry said mustapha as he gets the telecom.
No room service, let's go for ice cream' I demanded.
But am hungry ' said mustapha.
Me too. But let's have an ice cream first, I pouted my mouth.
Ok, your wish said mustapha.
We both left for ice cream shortly.
I was taking frosty yo admist mustapha's endless joke when I noticed him laughing at me.
What? i asked clueless and he points at my mouth.
I understood what he meant by that, i must have gotten yoghurt stain all over my mouth. I tried to wipe it away but he reaches it first before me. He uses his fingers to wipe my lips clean and then I watch as he licks it.
Why do you take yoghurt after ice cream " he asked.
I don't know, I grew up doing so' I answered him whole heartedly.
I guess this is our first date said mustapha getting my attention.
I don't get you? , I replied.
Aren't you the one who called the shot? "He asked.
He is right. It's indeed our first date,
Oh yeah. I want to go the beach or watch movies at the cinema for my second date I said.
you are already talking about second date , before the first one ends" teased mustapha.
Is that a crime" i retorted over a spoon of vanilla flavoured ice cream.
No.
Ain't you fussy, Bama girl.
Bama girl? I repeated and he winks at me.
Yes Bama girl, my love " he said.
Your love, I was surprised.
Can i asked you something, I asked.
Yes " he replied.
Why do you suddenly care, is it about what I did " I asked and mustapha went mute.
I can't say but what you did made me see a clearer picture. It made see what a gem you're " he said and I went all giggly.
After ice cream we went out to the street. But something was odd.
Everyone was on their phone.
They were all walking like the walking dead and it crept me out.
Mustapha asked one of them what's happening and he said they where playing Pokémon go.
We got intrigued and the game was introduced to us.
We ended up surfing madrid in searching for Pokémon's it was interesting because we didn't realize that time has flown by.
Subhanallah I exclaimed after noticing the environment.
What ?" Mustapha asked petrified.
Mustapha it's night already and we have missed our players. You are such a bad company " I frown.
Me, you, You are the one whom insisted on playing the game " said mustapha.
No , i didnt " i denied.
Remember when you said when in Rome do as the Roman's" said mustapha with all seriousness and I fell laughing.
I can't believe today me and mustapha are arguing like kids and it felt beautiful.
What ?, asked mustapha and I laughed again.
Fatima he said and my heart went numb.
I was hung on it before he touches me.
We are lost , he said .
I started laughing but he's face was straight.
Am serious we are lost said mustapha.
O. M.G , how do we go back ' I asked sounding stupid. Of course if he knows how he wouldn't have said " We are lost" in the first place scolded my subconscious.
And mustapha looked at me.
Let's trace our Pokémon map to where we started playing.
That will be too much work said mustapha.
Don't you know the name of our apartment., the street anything that could be of help ' I asked .
And he said No.
Ok, let's call social service I advised.
Then I noticed my phone given the danger light before going off.
Mustapha my phone is off , I yelled.
Mine too" he replied.
The game must have exhausted our ba3 I thought.
Mustapha we haven't pray yet " I reminded him.
Yes let's look for a mosque nearby and then figure out how to return to the apartment tomorrow " he advised.
I will be in soup , and everything I have worked for will go down the drain if I don't make it " tomorrow he said sounding worried.
Insha Allah , you will. We will find our way back" I assured him.
We talked 2miles before we spotted a mosque.
We parted at the entrance. I went to the women section and he went for the male section.
After prayers we thought we could pass the night there till the mosque was closed and we had no where to go.
The mosque keeper didn't believe us when we s
Told him that we were lost. He thought we were refugees of the law and chase us out.
Mustapha got pissed and tried to fight the man but I stoped him.
We were out in the cold night but not about.
I sat nonchalantly under the street lights as mustapha laid his head on my laps.
What's this ?, please get up " I said.
You look cute tense and confuse he said and I started crying.
Falmata what's wrong " I asked.
I can't believe we are lost and ....
Shush said mustapha. He hush me before I could say anything else.
It's going to be ok" He said.
I slept there and to my surprise I woke up on the comfy of our apartment bed.
What! , i yelled in this believe.
Morning falmata " I heard mustapha's voice.
Mustapha, we , here, how did we ?.
I brought you back he said and I raised my brow.
You are so gullible Bama girl , he smirks.
What, you pulled a prank at me " I said getting aggressive.
Yeah, he replied in a cool tune.
I like to pull pranks on my girlfriend, he smirks.
Then I don't want to be your girlfriend ' I spat out.
I will get back at you" was what I yelled before tears crowded my eyes and mustapha came to pet me.

Am sorry if it hurts you.
I won't do it again he said and I turned my back at him.
Please be my girlfriend again he asked and I nodded No.
